Don’t you just love computers? I had just about finished this column, when my web page “expired” and I lost everything. If this wasn’t a new computer, it might just have “expired” right out the window. It doesn’t spell very well, either.

At least we have a nice spring day to enjoy. It makes me almost want to go out and work in my flowerbeds. Almost.

Nichole Goss of the Hearing Aid Institute joined us last week, and spent her time cleaning hearing aids for those who needed it. She will be here on the second Wednesday of each month to perform this service. There is no cost for this, and no appointment is needed. She will be here at 11 a.m. and stay as long as necessary.

We had a great turnout for our St. Patrick’s Day dinner. We were blessed by George Stonehocker when he sang an old Irish song for us.

The senior commodities are in. If you haven’t picked yours up yet, please do as soon as you can. If you have any questions, please call the COA at 676-2368.

The tax reps from AARP are here every Wednesday to help you with your taxes. Call 676-2371 to make an appointment.

AARP will also be having a Drivers Safety Course here at the Center. It will be on Thursday, May 11. The class will be from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. Please call 676-2371 for an appointment.

Our monthly birthday dinner is Friday, March 31. Come in and enjoy a delicious roast beef dinner with us, have great fellowship with your friends, listen to the music, take a chance on the 50/50 raffle and maybe win a door prize.

Our menu for the rest of the month is:

Friday, March 24: salmon filets,

Monday, March 27: bacon wrapped meatloaf,

Wednesday, March 29: beef stroganoff,

Friday, March 31: roast beef

The center is open for noon meals on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

We also serve one evening meal a month, and that is at 5:30 p.m. on the second Thursday of each month.

We have a great book exchange going on, we usually have a puzzle on the table, the pool table is always ready for a game, and the fellowship here is great. You don’t have to be a senior citizen to join us for our meals and activities.

So, come on in and join us and see how much we have to offer. If you are new to the community, or just visiting, your local Senior Center is a great place to meet and make new friends. (Not to mention that the food is great, and cheaper than anywhere else in town).

Our thought for the week is: If you look like your passport picture, you probably need the trip.

Have a great week, and enjoy the great weather.
